Here are parts 4 to 6 of the wide-ranging discussion recorded on the evening before the USA side of the X-Po event earlier this year. Kris Wilder, Rory Miller, Marc “Animal” MacYoung, Al Peasland, Nicholas Yang & myself had a good chat about all things martial at Kris’s place and recorded it. It has been split into eleven parts and we’ll be sure to bring you all other episodes as they become available. I hope you enjoy them!

The new Beyond Bunkai DVD went into production earlier today! Both the NTSC and PAL master disks went to the replicators today and the cover files are also on their way to be printed. All going well we should have the finished items delivered to us in a few weeks!

It’s fantastic that the DVD will be ready in 2010 and that’s entirely down to the great job done by Harbour View Productions and Outpost Editing! I’ve copied a picture of the cover and the blurb below. Please watch this space as things develop. Very excited to get this one out and see what you all think!

A couple of years ago Michael Rosenbaum kindly made his book “Comprehensive Karate” freely available via this website (on Christmas day!). In the not too distant future we will be setting up a download page for all the e-books and PDFs that we have made available over the years. However, this book has always been very popular so I wanted to get it up here as soon as possible. If you’ve not yet read the book (where have you been?!) you can download it from this page and all the details can be found below. I hope you enjoy it!

Regular visitors will recall that at the USA side of the X-Po event eariler this year Kris Wilder, Rory Miller, Marc “Animal” MacYoung, Al Peasland, Nicholas Yang & myself had a good chat about all things martial at Kris’s place … and we recorded it!

It was a very wide-ranging discussion and how often do you get such a group under one roof and around one table! The first part of this recording has been uploaded to You-Tube and is now available for your listening pleasure. I hope you enjoy it and we’ll be sure to bring you all other episodes as they become available.

The latest Extreme Impact Units by Steve Williams and myself are now available for download! Thanks to everyone who purchased units 1 to 5 and made these new units possible. 100% of the funds generated from units 1 to 5 have gone into producing these new units and we could not have made them without your support. The new units are all around 30 minutes in length and we’ve stuck to the price of £9.70 / unit. There is also the special offer of getting the all five new downloads for the price of four. So that’s 2.5 hours of training drills for just £38.80.

Please find below all the latest information on Peter Consterdine’s & Geoff Thompson’s British Combat Karate Association! I’ve copied the enquiry letter and the advert that recently ran in the UK’s martial arts press below. The information pack and application form have also been uploaded to this website and they can be downloaded from the links below:

Below you can find an update from Peter Consterdine 8th dan on the soon to be formed “British Combat Karate Association”. Peter will be providing me with information packs etc which will answer all questions and I’ll add them to this site so you can download them as PDFs next week. If you have any questions, Peter can be emailed at peter@peterconsterdine.com or called on 01924266016.

Just a very quick note - as I'm frantically busy approving memberships :-) – that this is fantastic! The number of accounts we have set up in the last day or so is simply amazing! The visitor rate is also great.

The forum has got off to a great start too! The original forum was awesome and I really want this one to be every bit as good, if not better, a source of good quality information for the 1000s of visitors we get each day. The opening posts are of really good quality and I can’t thank you all enough.

Just a quick note to let you know that a new dedicated karate association is soon to be launched in the UK. Chief Instructors will be Peter Consterdine & Geoff Thompson, with myself (and a number of others who will be well known to you) in the role of senior coach, grading officer and member of the technical committee.

The group will be called “The British Combat Karate Association” and it intends to be affiliated to both the English Karate Federation and the Scottish Karate Governing Body.

Welcome to the latest Extreme Impact drill! This drill is from the forthcoming “Extreme Impact Unit 8: Confusion Drills” (to be released in Sept 2010). Confusion drills are ones that mess with the mind and body by never allowing you to “find your groove”. The drills involve variations in tempo, intensity and impact to keep you constantly outside of your comfort zone! I hope you “enjoy” making use of this drill in your training and teaching. We will be back with more samples and exclusive drills soon!

We’ve just added another totally new Extreme Impact video to the You-Tube channel! This time it is the turn of Hooks and Uppercuts! The clip below is a sample from Extreme Impact 7 (coming out in Sept 2010) which includes a whole host of drills for hooks and uppercuts that develop all the associated attributes needed to deliver those techniques with knockout power!

A few weeks ago I added some videos to this website about the Crossing the Pod seminars in the UK and the USA in August! Well, I now have a new video from Nicholas Yang! The first weekend of seminars will take place in Seattle in the USA (14th and 15th of August) and the second weekend will take place a week later in Coventry in the UK (21st and 22nd of August).

Hi All, Here’s a quick clip from the filming of the first set of Extreme Impact Downloads.

Those who have seen the downloads will know that Steve and I take turns when demonstrating and to explain each of the drills … well on this one I forgot it was my turn! Watch carefully for the shifty sideways glances from Steve and me!

Thankfully, the editing removes all such cock-ups from the final program!
